wondering if it is an easy job.
Any ACR owners lower their car?

You and I both have the DS shocks (vs. the Koni setup that came on the earlier ACRs), and from what I've seen it's quite simple... Give me a bit and I'll see if I can find the adjustment guides...

lowered min 3/4" in the front and a 1/2" in the rear. also corner weighted the car and did a road racing alignment. handles awesome now.

Im afraid to lower mine cause i dont want to cause damage to the front end around town. Its pretty low on stock height but the wheel gap is KILLING me 
I may just do it.
Looking forward to seeing the instructions.

HARDVIPER - got the specs on my alignment from john at west coast viper in temecula and had mayhem motorsports here in arizona do it for me. if i lived in temecula like you i would have john at west coast viper do it for you because even though you can lower the car yourself it still needs to be aligned and thats where john at west coast viper comes in. corner weighting is a good idea too if you plan on doing any road racing. john has a fix for bump steer too

My recommendation is to look at the service manual for your year. My year has a very very clear picture on how to do it. Very simple. One turning screw. Adjusting it evenly is the only concern here.
